US updates: ICC says it is undeterred by Trump sanctions
Friday, 7 February 2025 () Donald Trump has signed an executive order imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court for its investigations into Israel. In 2024, the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu. DW has more.
President Trump signed an executive order sanctioning the ICC for "abusing its power" after it issued arrest warrants for Israeli PM Netanyahu. The order freezes ICC officials' assets and imposes travel bans, citing “illegitimate actions” against the US and Israel. Trump’s move follows a White House meeting with Netanyahu, where they discussed Gaza and regional policies. The ICC's probe into alleged war crimes in Gaza and Afghanistan has faced US opposition, with Trump previously sanctioning the court in 2020. The Biden administration later lifted those sanctions.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a memorandum deputizing Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) officers to enforce federal immigration laws, aligning with Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration. Under the agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), state troopers will have the power to detain and deport illegal immigrants. However, concerns arise over staffing shortages and lack of additional funding. DeSantis is also pushing for tougher immigration laws, including eliminating sanctuary protections and enforcing stricter deportation measures. This move could significantly bolster Trump’s immigration policy ahead of the 2024 elections.

The U.S. is reportedly set to transfer the powerful 11-ton "Mother of All Bombs" (MOAB) to Israel, marking a major shift in policy amid rising tensions with Iran. This devastating non-nuclear weapon, capable of destroying deep underground facilities, could be used to target Iran’s uranium enrichment sites. Past U.S. presidents, including Bush, Obama, and Biden, denied Israel's request for the bomb, but Trump now appears to have changed course. With fears of Iran nearing nuclear weapons capability and Trump warning of severe retaliation against any Iranian threat, is the region on the brink of war?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gifted U.S. President Donald Trump a golden pager during their Washington meeting, referencing a deadly September operation targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Israeli operation, which involved explosions destroying Hezbollah members' pagers and walkie-talkies, killed 37 people, including children, and injured nearly 3,000. Trump returned the gesture with a signed photograph of the two, labeling Netanyahu a “great leader.” This exchange highlights the strained geopolitical context between Israel, Lebanon, and Iran-backed militant groups.

U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed the forced evacuation of Gaza's 2 million residents, with plans for the U.S. to take over control of the war-torn region. This unprecedented move has been met with fierce opposition from Hamas, which vows to resist these "unacceptable" plans. The proposal, made in a White House press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, has sparked widespread outrage across the Arab world, including Egypt and Jordan, who have rejected the idea of resettling Gazans.
